Welch Two Sample t-test
data: nes$midclass by nes$dempartylike
t = 6.5136, df = 1548.018, p-value = 9.894e-11
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
3.701974 6.892343
sample estimates:
mean in group 1. Yes mean in group 5. No
79.22779 73.93063
This data shows that there is a relationship between the middle class and whether or not they support the democratic party. The p value is less than .05 proving that there is indeed a relationship

Welch Two Sample t-test
data: nes$welfareppl by nes$gender
t = -3.8433, df = 1941.342, p-value = 0.0001253
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
-5.500683 -1.783604
sample estimates:
mean in group 1. Male respondent selected
54.66138
mean in group 2. Female respondent selected
58.30353
According to the p-value derived from running this t-test, there is indeed a relationship between the two variables - people's opinions on the usage of welfare and gender. And in accordance with the means, one could say that it is strongly suggested by the data that women generally think more favourably upon peers who utilise welfare than their male counterparts do.
